I am missing the party - Sad

LootingSawyer wrote: hi,

The party is going on downstairs right now but when I tried to sit up down there I got too sterssed I guess because my contractions picked up. I'm sure Viggo's told you guys about me being on bedrest and how much I dislike his ex who's here for the party. I cannot stand being around her and she stresses me out so badly. He suggested I come up here and check out the internet and he's video taping it so I decided to sign on here since I haven't been here since before we were married! I've always wanted to be pregnant and loved it before bedrest but I really wish it were over now. At least I am not the only person missing it; he said Henry's kids and Nicky are also msisinsg the big event. At least I can see it later.

Alice replied: Hi Tav, and welcome back!!

Yes, Vig has kept us informed on what's going on...boy, you guys sure don't live the quiet life, do you??? Staying upstairs is probably for the best: why subject yourself to that woman if you don't have to? You can use the rest, and the break from stress. She sure sounds like a piece of work!!

I'm sorry to hear about the bedrest; it must be the pits!!

LootingSawyer replied:
Thank you. No this place is never quiet after things started to settle down between them her mom showed up and she's worst than daughter. Vig has just gotten so fed up that he's stopped being polite even at all and he's been giving her a lot lip!! We'll both be glad when all the family clears out. It is our hope that she willd ecide to leave today or tommrow instead of staying for the twin's real birthday which is on Monday. She is a piece of work I tell you she thinks that because I'm on bedrest she can come in and take him back or something and I'm not about to let that happen!! I feel a little bit better now that I have his credit card ha ha. Kidding of course but I can start shopping for Brooklyn's arrival and I'm working on my signature since Vig showed me how to upload a picture. I still wish I could be there for the babies.

Oh yes bedrest really is awful but it gets easier after the first week. I've got a wonderful family too.

moped replied: Hi Tavia..........

I guess this is the first itme we have talked!

I see you got a 4-d u/s...........I did too - sooo cool!!!!

Hope you are doing ok

LootingSawyer replied: Yes I don't believe I've ever met you. Yes we did a 4d ultrasound when we were in Boise right before I got put on bedrest . They're so amazing. She really looks comfortable in there!! I hope she stays put!!

I'm doing well. Little bummed still but well. Thanks,! NIce to meet you. Your son is so cute!!

moped replied: Yes - she looks quite happy in there - I am sure she will stay in for a while....................when is your due date?

mommy2owen replied: Sorry you had to miss the party!

LootingSawyer replied: I am due in June. The 6th.

Alice replied: That's right-- I forgot all about internet shopping!! Knock yourself out!!

Alice replied: Hi, Tav, me again.

I bet if you went online to New York City tourism , you could find something "Brooklyn" related for her room.

loveydad replied: Aww I feel really bad she didn't get to come. But I guess she made headway - wow look at that siggy! That's awesome!!

Alice - thanks! I'll tell her. That's an awesome idea.

ediep replied: hi Tavia, sorry about missing the party but I'm sure Vig is rigt, its for the best.

We are going to see Brooklyn, the musical in a few weeks. You should get a playbill or book from that show for her room

Josie83 replied: Tav I'm sorry that you had to miss the party. But aybe its best for you if that syupid ex of Vig's is hanging around causing trouble. I love your siggy and avatar by the way! I hope that you're feeling less stressed today . . and its good to have you back with us xx

texasp3 replied: Hi there, I don't think we've "talked" before either. I'm Marie and only just recently started being active in the forums. I'm so sorry you had to miss the party, but you're absolutely right to avoid the stress right now. The twins are young, and you'll have many, many days to be involved with them that they will actually remember with love. In the meantime, you gotta do what's best for that little one that's on the way.

One of the hardest things about blended families is that it seems like someone always has to be missing something. I recently told my Mom that I would never divorce my husband (this is my second marraige) simply because I REFUSE to raise another child missing half his birthdays and Christmases and so on... it's just too hard and I'm just too selfish in my old age to give him up for even ONE important day. Not that I'm THINKING of divorcing my husband...

Bedrest is hard too... I was stuck in bed for five weeks before Gabriel was born and he came a month early - born healthy as a horse, by the way. I had pre-term labor too, and really nasty problems with my blood pressure. It got old, but there are a lot of online resources for you if you haven't found them already. You can get a "bedrest buddy" - someone who has been there done that and will email you or call you - whatever you like, plus some good books and fun websites. Feel free to PM me if you want any of those resources or to just talk! I'm a SAHM and I'm usually availabe online during the day.

LootingSawyer replied: Hi, Alice that's a great idea I'll write that down and look at that later.
Thanks Edie- that's a good idea. We're not doing too much of a Brooklyn theme we just liked the name but I would lik e to have some of that stuff.
Thank you Josie. She's an awful women. Viggo told me about that person who thought you guys were an item. That's hilarious!!
Thank you Marie I sent you a pm. I'm kind of glad that the kid's parents aren't really in their lives because I refuse to miss their birthdays. I've known them all their lives but now I know them well and I love them so dearly already!!
